Rare Run-Over Clinical Case. Evisceration of the Intestines through the Wrist
Run-over accidents involving heavy vehicles are a common cause of fatal injuries. These incidents often result in extensive lacerations, multiple comminated fractures, and severe damage to internal organs. In rare cases, evisceration of internal organs can occur through various anatomical sites. This case demonstrates that evisceration can occur not only through common locations such as the diaphragm, abdominal wall, rectum, or vagina but also through atypical sites, such as the skin of the wrist. In such cases, it is particularly important for a forensic pathologist to assess the damage of clothing and to evaluate the macromorphological appearance of the injuries to determine the mechanism of injury.
